The brine graduation tower in Rybnik (Paruszowiec) – a great stopping point and destination for a trip! The facility has the form of an impressive, wooden rotunda, around which a healthy aerosol from brine from Zabłocie (rich in iodine and bromine) floats. The place is perfectly adapted for cyclists: you will find dedicated bike racks, smooth asphalt paths, and plenty of benches in the shade. Right next to it, there is a picturesque pond with a viewing pier and a park playground. An ideal place to rest, catch your breath (literally!), and regenerate your strength in the middle of the route. The supra-regional cycling route from Rybnik towards Żory and Czerwionka-Leszczyny runs right next to it.

From the power plant side, there's a nice pier worth visiting. From the Stodoły district side, on a hill, there's a nice view of the entire reservoir.

A picturesque bridge, but be careful - road tires can happily disappear between the planks!

The bridge is located in the park of the monastery and palace complex in Rudy.

A pond, and right next to it a reservoir dam and a bridge over the dam.
